STS-84 Mission Specialist C. Michael Foale, who will become the fifth
U.S. astronaut to live and work on the Russian Space Station Mir,
arrives at KSCs Shuttle Landing Facility for the STS-84 Terminal
Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT), a dress rehearsal for
launch. Foale will be dropped off on Mir when the Space Shuttle
Atlantis docks with Mir next month. He will become a member of the Mir
23 crew, replacing U.S. astronaut Jerry M. Linenger, who will return
to Earth on Atlantis after about four months on the orbiting
station. STS-84 will be the sixth Shuttle-Mir docking. Liftoff is
targeted for May 15.
